M-Powered 7.3.1cs7 and Plug in CPU usage problems

[RichrdC]

Good afternoon, I'm running M-Powered 7.3.1 on a Dell laptop, Pentium 3.06 ghz and 2 gig RAM.. Start a new session...have a drum track, bass track, rhythm and lead guitar track going.. open an aux track and insert Amplitube plug in.... I bus the lead guitar to the aux track and start playback and the error message "running out of CPU usage, close RTAS plug-in or increase playback engine etc... error -9128" My problem is I've got the playback engine all the way up to 2048 and the track still freezes and the same error message comes up.. I know Amplitube is a CPU usage hog, but I haven't had this problem before unless I've tried to have Amplitube inserts on a few different tracks at the same time rather than bussing tracks to an AUX track that has Amplitube on it.. Any thoughts would be a great help since I'm stumpted... Thank you, Rich

Make sure all of your plugins are up to date, not just the offending one. If that doesn't work, you should post a Sandra report on you system.

Thanks Tom.. Not sure how to tell if plug-ins are up to date. Is there a process to that? I did have a computer meltdown and had to reinstall everything, but that was awhile ago, and I've got all the product numbers etc. of the plug-ins that I've bought. How does one go about telling if plug-ins are up to date?? Thx
